Reliable Data on Winchester Manufacturing Dates?

n64atlas--I appreciate that you looked up that information, but I believe you nailed it at the end of your last post. Winchester's records must have been off quite a bit on this model at least. I just wonder if the data on the M75 production dates is accurate.

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

I Houze's book on the Winchester 52 series, he says they wrote down the serial number of the last receiver they made that day. So I imagine they did this for all the firearms they built. It seems odd to me they would be off that many years on several firearms. I don't want to keep stealing this thread about the 75 so I'll post on the shotgun forum with further questions I have.
